Time Tutelary One Watch Winder Review: Affordably Gets Job Done Without Fuss
This is the first review were I took something apart because of past negative experiences with similar products. I needed to make sure that it was mechanically and electronically up to snuff before I could recommend it - but more on that later. You need a watch winder if you have any automatic mechanical watches. This takes the hassle out of winding your automatic watches when you aren't wearing them for more than a day or so. This is especially important if you have many automatic watches. I have had no less than a dozen watch winders in less than four years, and not all of them are "still alive." So a coherent review of a reasonably priced watch winder is merited.Oddly enough, the watch industry has incredible difficultly getting decent low-cost watch winders out to us. For that reason you will find that most of the affordable ones are Chinese made, unless you want to spend many hundreds or thousands of dollar for something basic that is American or European made.

Photo Report: Inside The New IWC Boutique In London
The new London IWC boutique on Bond Street opened its doors just before Christmas last year, and is the first ever location in the UK for the manufacture from Schaffhausen. The 90-square-meter, two-level boutique is also the first to use a new design concept from IWC – a concept where all boutiques around the globe will eventually share the same displays and furniture, but mixed with elements capturing the essence of the city it's in. 1 OF 53 The outcome is a lovely Art Deco mix of stainless steel, polished wood, and marble.

Also available is a full time on-site watchmaker ready to handle any service requirements. The first floor f

The New (to me) Field Chrono

Thinking of cutting an extra notch on my rubber strap
I have an rg44, and wear it on its tightest buckle notch. still comfortable to wear. However, it's a bit loose and can slide down my wrist enough that bending my hand all the way back makes the chrono pushers dig into the back of my hand. If I had just one more notch on the rubber strap would give it a perfect fit. Should I take an exacto knife to it and make a new hole myself? is there a shorter strap I can get? What do you guys think?

AP browsing London
Popping to the AP Boutique/service centre in London next week to sort another strap out.I've only ever checked AP out in Harrolds, so where's the best places to look new and used?
